Only because there is a lack of a true QB in the NFL.   The college coaches do not do a good job of developing real talent.  

The only thing lacking is opportunities in the NFL for people willing to innovate with these talented young men.

One of Peterman's strengths is purported to be accuracy.  Not here with a throw OOB that provided no chance for Holmes to make a play.

 

The pocket is totally clean here!

Wrong, the game just evolved. The Wing-T used to be a thing too. Teams are scoring at a rate that they’ve never scored at. This is an offensive era. The rules play a role but so does the evolution of the QB position and the spread offense.

 

FWIW, I would say that both Bills QBs do this.

Shouldn't that start in college?  

 

We have 10 to 20 average QBs in the league, maybe 5 Very good ones, 2 of which are a lock for the HoF.  the other 12 are very poor.

If you want to eliminate the passing game .....  Make it illegal.  

 

Some "progression" is actually a regression.  

I'm just being a wise *** while trying to shed some insight 

 

at a rate that they’ve never scored at  - All except Buffalo.   Defenses have forgotten how to tackle?  

 

 

I recall seeing games with high scores of 35 to 45 pt games weekly years ago.   So maybe not much of a change overall.

It is starting in College. Offenses are being developed to get the most out of their skillsets as quickly as possible. Then they get to the NFL and they are asked to completely change the way they play because the coaches don't want to adapt. All you have to do is look at the success Houston was having with Watson this year. The staff there fully embraced Watson's skillset and he flourished for it. There needs to be more of that around the league, and there will be if Watson picks up where he left off down there because everyone else will need to catch up.

WRT to Watson -  How many other QB's out of how many total QB's drafted in 17 have seen success?   0, 1, 2 more than that?    

We might get lucky and see one Star per year,  Will that Star be shining bright in 3 +  seasons?  

these are questions not arguments

Clearly Watson, yes. The only other one I would say has had success so far is CJ Beathard, given his supporting cast. But, as Yolo may point out, I'm slightly biased on that.

  • Haha (+1) 1
  • Thank you (+1) 1

Granted I've only seen his game against NE, but aside from a couple of called QB runs and a slightly more-than-average amount 7 step drops to get him some space the Texans looked like they were doing pretty traditional things with Watson. Have they really implemented a very different sort of offense for him, or is he just a superior quarterback?

5 of the top 9 seasons in terms of per team scoring average have been since 2012. 9 of the last 10 seasons would fall in the top 16. Scoring is at its peak.

 

The passing game is too. It’s just different. It isn’t a bunch of stand in the pocket and go through a series of progressions. It’s 2 reads and make a play. That isn’t changing any time soon as evidenced by the stats from Hokie. The only way that’s going to change is if the defenses find a way to stop it.

KC and Philly are the other examples. They are basically running Smith’s college offense (even though they’ve slowed some). There are college concepts all over the place with Wentz too. All 3 of those QBs have been in the MVP conversation this year.

From my understanding they pretty much copied a bunch of the route combinations and play designs he was used to from Clemson last year so that he would be more comfortable in knowing where to expect his receivers to be at any given time. They also incorporated a decent amount of QB movement and draws. If you watch a few more games of him (I'd recommend the Seattle game, it was fantastic) it's pretty easy to see he isn't operating an offense designed for Tom Savage.

Yeah, that's where I was originally going to go with my post, but I didn't want to toot my own horn :lol:

 

The top 5 ratings I've issued this year (as of last night) are:

Brady

Wentz

Wilson

Watson

Smith

 

4 of those 5 are averaging ~5 carries and ~25 yards per game and the other one's named Brady.

At least he found the man coverage :)

I don't see how starting a guy who is not ready to start in the NFL, and may not even be a capable backup is a "big picture" move. Peterman should ride the bench until we're mathematically eliminated, and see if he can secure a backup spot next TC. After that horrendous 1st half of football, signing Kaepernick to backup Taylor for the rest of the year would make the Bills a better football team.

No it wouldn't.

Could lose the locker room.

"Peterman will be as good as TT in a couple of weeks". Wow. That's all I can say to this. It never ends. You said Peterman would be better right away. At least you are backtracking a little now.lolAnd you don't start a rookie fifth round pick when the playoffs are very much a possibility in a weak AFC. A terrible move that could lose the locker room.

1. You've never set foot in that locker room or any locker room as far as I know. "Lose the locker room" is a way over used cliche and when uttered by delusional fans is even worse.

2. Tyrod Taylor is not going to be the difference of whether this team makes the playoffs. In fact there is no proof Tyrod would have fared any different in the first half of the game on Sunday. In fact it was eerily similar to the first half at home versus the Saints.

3. I already think Peterman has more upside than Tyrod so I am not backtracking on that. I do think he will be better given the opportunity.

4. Tyrod was a sixth round pick so please stop comparing these players by draft status.

5. Tyrod is done in Buffalo regardless of your opinion and my opinion. It's time to move on especially for the emotional folks like yourself.

If you are making the point that Kaep has more talent and would upgrade the back up position I agree. Whether it makes us a better team is unknown. By that standard we could sign Manziel, Tebow or the broke down skeleton of RGIII and upgrade the backup position on skill alone. 

 

Bringing in really any of those guys however is a huge distraction and it's just not worth it for a 2nd team guy.

 

However I'd like to hear why we haven't brought in guys like McGloin or Nassib for a looks see. They aren't the answer either but one thing is certain...neither is as bad as Peterman.

I posted this before and it needs to be posted again for the people with blinders. Yes Nate sucked with 5,  But he is not the only one.  Many QB's are on the list 3, 4 and 5 times

Thats a given the way the defense has been playing.  

 

We Taylor supporters have much to learn from the Cult of Nathan. None of us ever tried tying ourselves into such convoluted knots to excuse the inexcusable.

Our Nathanist brethren can teach us a great deal about proper cult-like dedication.........

Say what? The most INTs Tyrod has thrown in a season is 6, and you think there's no proof he wouldn't have thrown 5 in the first half of a single game?
